Under new plans, auto-rickshaw drivers will be offered a 2,000 rupee (£20) reward for each road accident victim they bring to hospital. They will also be offered life-support training and first aid kits. “The truth is that in Delhi, ambulances do not reach the victims in time,” said Satyendra Jain, Delhi’s health minister. “We are giving this economic incentive to Good Samaritans because they lose time from work. In most cases, their clothes are bloodied and we do not want them to suffer because of helping accident victims. “We cannot put a price tag on a life saved. This is just a token, and it is optional — it will be up to the people to take this money," he told The Hindu newspaper. April 16, 2016 at 01:49PM
